'Why I'm close to D'banj and not Don Jazzy' - Rapper, Ikechukwu

"I have heard a lot about my relationship with D'banj. Some people call me his houseboy, bouncer, and the rest, but let me say this, I have been close to D'banj since day one. The first time I saw him was at Obi Asika's house, when he was about signing to Storm Records...and if you're observant, you would have discovered that we have similar features; he's lepa just like me and we have same swagger. So we've created some kind of bond right from time which I was not opportuned to share with Don Jazzy. I only find people that find me, simple! Those that I am important to are those that are important to me. I am just chilling with D'banj and now that he's making a stand abroad, it's going to be stupid of me not to utilize the situation he already has. So, we are not just friends, we are also doing business" - The rapper tells Encomium magazine in an exclusive interview

And then now u are tagging along because of his connection with kanye?? and that right there doesn't allude to the fact that u are indeed his houseboy?? lol mmkay. We dey watch.

    Why are you close to D'banj Ikechukwu?

    Ikechukwu, this ya little pr is geared towards ingratiating yourself with DBanj. Are you close to DBanj cos you are desperate for attention?

    I think you're close to DBanj (Koko Master) because he has a bigger PEN!S than Don Jazzy. Rumour has it that Don Jazzy's PEN!S is smaller than DBanj's PEN!S. I'd appreciate it if Don Jazzy can publicly declare on his Twitter page that his PEN!S is bigger than DBanj's PEN!S.

    Dbanj overseas success has not matured for anyone to want to live off the goodwill accruable.

    When he is established enough i am sure the first beneficiary would be kayswitch who seems to be hustling independently.

    Ike should go to kennis music,if he must remain an artist otherwise, a boutique business should be considered.

    Chai Ike nwa mama...u r using the wrong formula here o. U are attaching urself to a dude whom in the process of his own detachment and attachment has brought himself more woes than the fame he expected. A guy who is not recognized in the least bit in his new found nest with his former fame almost dwindling

    You can pave ur own path and carve ur nitch without his help naa. U claim u r not his houseboy but u just admitted that u r doing attachee because of his delusional expectation of international fame.

    All u gotta do is drop the american "i ganna wanna" style of rap....take Don Jazzy's advise and cater to the crowd you are serving. Nigerians dont care much for american rap...go lite, hearty and playful with ur music and loose the ruggedness and u'll see ur career take off. Even Iyanya confirmed that his fame was due to the fact that he started doing the sort of music naija people gravitate to. Do ur research and believe in the potential God has given u already and depend on no one. Good luck with everything.
